Sir Why You Little

What's wrong with cheer squads around the ground. More Red & Blue Passion=more involvement. More intimidation for opposing supporters i say.

I heard that Guy this Morning aswell on SEN. Brilliant idea!! A Cheer SQuad in the MCC Reserve. It will work. For someone who has sat in the reserve all my life, there is a lot of passion in there even though those in the Outer may disagree. We must all join together in all parts of the Ground for the MFC Cheer Squad for the MCC-Just Do it Jimmy...

Chris Who?? He Chose to play for Carlton over Melbourne. I have always HATED Carlton and always will so CJ is now an enemy. That is all. Next....

Why Aim Low I do not understand. This club has done too much of that since 1965. Great, build a toy stadium out in the sticks that can attract 20,000 supporters. Why not aim to get 40-45.000 for interstate home games at the MCG?? Don't tell me it is not possible-it is. In 2008 we have 30,000 members. With good planning on & off the field (attractive Tough Footy) People will come to watch. A boutique stadium scenario is too much like the "white Flag, we will never be a big club". I do not barrack for a team that plays in springvale where a sausage sizzle greets me at the side Gate. The Melbourne Football Club must strive to play & Maximize ALL Home Games at the MCG. It is where this club lives.

Easy Dude. I would never say a bad word about the ability of Alan Johnson. Saw him play many great Hard Games. None better than the '88 Elim Final (he polled a perfect score in the Bluey for that one)

Why are people continually talking about playing "Home Games" at Casey Field on a Boutique Stadium? The MFC Plays Home games at the MCG, anythjing less and we are showing signs of giving up. The Aim of this Club must always be to attract more Spectators to the "G". I am Glad we have the use of casey Fields over summer, that is great. But a stadium out there is not going to work. We played (were Forced) to play Home Games at Princess Park (Visy) in the past-Nobody went. Telstra Dome when we play-Nobody goes. Why because its a Rip off-The Ground is to small & the Food is masssively over priced!! Sorry but that is the Bottom Line. The MCG all the way for me.

Please pass this idea on to Jim at the summit-I sadly did not recieve an invitation.... More merchandise available at Home (and away) Games very close to GATE 2 (MCC Members). If the Membership is only $50 For MFC Give we members the chance to buy Things as we are swiping the card. I Know there is a shop set up not faraway but it needs to be "in ya Face" Like Supermarket checkouts. I don't mind spending a little "Hard earned" if it is in my line of sight. Pro active selling. Make the MCC Entrance more Melbourne.

That is a very cool logo. I like it. Forward we move with our heritage proudly shown.

I would take Ben Cousins for 2 years on an Incentive based Contract. He loves playing on the MCG..I watched him win the Flag in '06

Bring back the '70's china man Demon!! Now he was a class act. Or the Demon from late 60's Twistie Packs-Very Reptillian looking Creature SELL TRIDENTS TO EVERYONE AT THE GROUND!!! Lets get EVIL

Bloody Hell i thought Jared Rivers had done a knee!!! I am sorry about your mate but please do not scare me like that!! Flashback to '95 Pre season with the Ox-depressing

That's good to hear a story like that. You could see Gary's Beard on the Southern Stand wing while sitting in the members!! But there were a lot of '70s porn star beards worn in the VFL back then. Bakers was the thickest i recall tho..

Let us not forget to that Bailey came to melbourne late last year & thus did not have a full pre-season to adjust to the club. Going into next year he will so Hopefully that will be an improvement factor in itself.

The Bottom line is we just have to win games-all these problems will ease if we can win some games & respectability. I sure hope the board are thinking along these lines, because everything else is just spin doctoring at the end of the day if we do not improve on the field. I am stoked we can get any major sponsor at the moment.

I am an MCC/MFC Member and i think that connection will be our greatest assett in the future, but i agree in part with all the above posts that at the moment it is completely under utilized. MFC Merchandise should greet me before i swipe my Card on home game days. Club Reps should be at Gate 2 Making us feel passionate about the afternoon to come. I have always thought for years that t MFC has never embraced it core supporters nearly as much as it should. I should write to Cameron Schwabb on this point-anyone know his email??

Its not sooking mate. Its a reality. Nothing wrong with being angry. The MFC is being treated like an old rag by the AFL at present. If they had any decency toward us they may throw us a little slack in the Pre season, but no...not a thing & then they lambast us for not having a good business plan. I really hope we can battle through this crap & some time in the future be in a position to stand up to the AFL. Time will tell

This is the way i have always felt. I remember Nathan Bourke speaking after the selection. He was genuinely knocked out by Baileys preparation & presentation. We have a very good coach at Melbourne. We need the other pieces..

If i was Bailey i would be going Flat out to win that first game. Pick the Best side. Train Hard For it. Shove it up the AFL

Ime in your camp. We as a club must take every game seriously from now on. All games for us are hard and should be planned for that way

Please inflict as much pain and misery upon as many carlton people as you can during this game. Thank you That is all

After 2008 i Personally do not have a problem with the whole list being placed on 1 year incentive based Contracts. I know it aint possible but its what should happen. Make players really want to earn their place.

Don't forget though Hawthorn may still be Hungover from this year!! We might win!!! Ridiculous but Possible!!!

I just hope the club views all this [censored] as a challenge rather than putting up the white flag. The Character of the stynes board is going to be really tested over the next couple of years. "It's better to die on your Feet than too live on your knees" Midnight Oil

1990 at Windy Hill!! Darren Bennett went off in the Last Q. Brilliant Day, Last time i saw a game at that feral dump. Kicked 4 goals in Time on to win. Steve Odwyer left a lot of his teeth in the centre circle that Day. I have the whole game on tape. Proper Hard Footy. Thought i was going to be killed getting out of the ground. It got a bit scary. Essendon were not happy. Good side in 1990 Very Tough.

You are onto a great idea there. Does the Club have a direct discussion Website?? Some of the Topics on here should be directly handballed to them. others of course should get nowhere near them. I like the idea of getting Norm Smith involved iin our next tilt. Bet he would love it to.
